Clarification

As an alternative to DSL, I'm considering a Wireless Broadband Card for the computer like these offered by Sprint and Verizohttp://www2.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifn. This option got more attractive when I saw that Dave could plug his in to a special wireless router. That's the only kind of wireless router I'm considering.

For the DSL, I already have a wireless router. Works fine. Don't need that. May need a DSL modem. Heck, may not. May just be AT&T continuing to be stupid. Looks like both DSL Extreme and Sonic will provide DSL in my area for cheaper than AT&T, so that may be a good first step. That does probably mean going without the net at home for a while though.

Given the choice between Sonic and DSL Extreme, I would definitely chose Sonic. I have had both (currently have Sonic, had DSL Extreme for two months). Nothing horrible with DSL Extreme, just had a fly by night feel to it. Sonic has always gotten good customer service reviews and seemed quite capable tech wise when answering questions. They are more expensive than AT&T, though, but not by so much.
